I've spent nearly two weeks trying to figure out what happened to my phone and how to restore it. After OTA 4.1.1 (I forced this clearing gsf), in a weak coverage area toggled airplane mode. It wouldn't come back out.
Fastboot flash, CWM, TWRP, dd command, Odin, re-partitioning, nand erase all - any attempt to flash radio-cdma.img hangs or fails.
I can confirm that many of the dire warnings about hard-bricking your device... Well, let's just say that with everything that I've tried, even the bolder attempts in the end, did not brick my device. Odin would always get me back.
Baseband Unknown
IMEI Unknown
My Phone Number Unknown
Everything!!! UNKNOWN
I found some threads on here mentioning CDMA tools and I've downloaded and attempted a couple, it seems that my pc has to have all the supporting programs to make a connection to my phone. The problem is these posts are not specific to my device but the S3 and it seems like a whole lot of trouble when there isn't a 'known' path and specific files for my VZW GNX.
I have also ran emmc check several times and memory checks out good. Sim card has also been replaced.
So I sit here today with 4.1.1 installed (less the radio-cdma.img). I can Odin the older stock images found here on XDA by deleting the radio-cdma.img within. Then use fastboot to flash the 4.1.1 images individually to have a Wi-Fi only device.
I'm willing to try anything. Any takers?
Your meid is smoked. You will need to completely reprogram phone. A restore won't do it Cuz its the serial of the device from factory. You can't fix unless you have msl

Thank you for the reply!
Could you point me in the right direction? Is this done using CDMA tools? I've seen places that mention it can be done via the handset dialpad (other devices). I've found threads that give suggestions on how to contact your carrier to get them to give you the msl... and I've also seen posts that state that Verizon's MSL is almost always 000000. My brain is turning to mush! :cyclops:
Thanks again

Verizon msl is usually 000000 you will need either the box device came in or the numbers under battery. The sticky part us going to be the MSID number you'll have to put in. If you have the ORIGINAL nandroid you made immediately after you unlocked bootloader, that one might work but no guarantees. The dialer code is *#*#msl#*#* with msl being the 000000. I believe that's it...could be *#*#spc#*#* with spc being spc and then have to enter msl. The MSID is mobile subsidy identification. Sometimes its NAM. Your MIN would be your phone number..mobile identification number.
If you get into the MEID it will have a couple numbers to enter. The numbers you will need will be your ESN hex and dec. I have all the dialer codes and can pm you a link if you like. Once you finish with the MEID repair that's where the NAM MIN thing will be needed. Unfortunately, the NAM/MSID isn't the same as your number and won't accept all 0's but once the meid is back you might be able to restore but am not positive on that. Can call Verizon and have them refresh phone I believe once meid is restored.
*Step Away From The Toolkit And NoROM Gets Hurt*
I tried the dialer code *#*#000000#*#*
The phone did nothing although as soon as I completed it went the field cleared. I'm on my own. Verizon told me a week ago they were sending me a refurb. Called yesterday and there was no record of another phone being sent out. Rep told me my Sim card was not activated in their system and a ticket was opened to have it unlocked on their network. It should be fixed on their end today. However, I still think I'm going to have to get radio-cdma flashed on my phone. Using getprop (from app market) it appears at some point I may have flashed GSM radios. I say this because there are GSM listings from the getprop output.
Any suggestions?

I'd probably return everything to stock first. ##XXXXXXX# and *#*#XXXXXX#*#* codes depend a device's factory ROM.
I'm not convinced it's your MEID though. That alone wouldn't stick your phone without signal and you'd still be able to flash a radio. I'd also be careful not to mess with IMEIs or MEIDs unless you're absolutely certain that's the problem. If you're hell bent on it or you're doing it for fun, not caring of you wreck it, look up MEID repair and read up before messing around.
It wouldn't hurt to try and install a new radio via CDMAWS or a similar program. Just don't change anything you're not familiar with. You can really screw things up with programs like that if you mess around.

I'm pretty sure that my problem is due to flashing GSM on my device. I have not had any luck finding out how to go back. I'll check out CDMAWS... first time hearing about it.

Pretty much meid smoked.
Wrong quote..trying to quote above. Just to ensure try *#06# and if it comes back with a string of numbers then you still have the meid. If blank...smoked

Does he have the samsung drivers installed? If so does his computer recognize his phone when plugged in either adb or fastboot? Cause if he does then you can easily go back to stock 4.0.4 IMM76k using my link in above post
MEID definitely smoked. *#06# yields nothing. I have tried flashing back to stock IMM76K but cannot get past radio-cdma flash... it hangs. If I remove the radio-cdma image it stock flashes no problem... but I still don't have MEID when doing that. I believe I flashed GSM ROM or radios at some point. I say this because when in terminal emulator and type getprop, the output has several gsm entries. Verizon is sending me another SIM card. But before I put it in I believe I need to have the GSM stuff off the phone. I'm not quite sure how to do that.
My screen is cracked, Verizon and Samsung can do nothing for me. I'm on my own on this. I have two rumor touch (sprint) that work fine. I also have HTC EVO 4g (Sprint)... been looking at activating on Verizon, but have had no luck getting CDMA tools to recognize phones... even after wiping drivers and re-installing multiple times.
I'm stuck using a very basic Samsung Knack flip at the moment... Sucks big time. Cash is short so I'm trying to make do with what I have.
Still needing help guys and gals!
And thank you all so much for your ideas and suggestions! I have learned a lot!

Do you have the box that came with device so can reapply meid? You'll need your msl in order to edit. If have a backup of original stock after you unlocked bootloader..that one might reapply your info. Otherwise you need that mls

Hi, Guys!
I have the same problem On Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-i9305 - by mistake flashed with ODIN "phone " section ( that means I flashed RADIO ) - as a result No IMEI, NO RADIO-GSM, BASEBAND unknown...(((
Somebody found solution?
Thanks in advance!
My brother is having the same problem with his Galaxy Nexus. Anybody found a fix for this problem?
I just started having this issue the other day as well (baseband/IMEI, etc all unknown). Phone was just sitting on my desk when I noticed it didn't have service. After being unable to flash the cdma radio, I am trying to get the phone back to stock. However, I am unable to flash the stock image because there is a version check for the cdma radio. Is there a way to flash the stock image without the cdma radio check?

Any luck with yours. I just started having the same problem. My phone freezes and I have no service. I am trying to return to stock using this GUIDE but my phone freezes whenever I try to Flash the CDMA Radio. If I skip that step it doesn't install the stock version and I'm stuck in Paranoid 3.2 and unable to return to the store in the current condition due to warranty issues. If I can make it stock I will go get a new one.

Just wanted to let others know that I was on a JRO03O rom, decided to return to stock 4.1.1 and must have screwed up something because after getting back up and running I had the same issues as OP. No baseband, IMEI, *#06# was blank, etc. I was about to embark down the path JediNinjafication linked to, but it looked extremely intimidating. Jaymazz's link to Vabeachfc3s reset tool worked like a champ, put me back at at 4.0.4 and all the radio stuff started working right away! Phone updated itself to 4.1.1 shortly thereafter, and it's still going strong.

IMEI vanishes when you flash a PIT that sets the partition sizes wrong and the IMEI gets masked inside the partition. Technically its still there but the /system can't see it. You can get it back but its not easy. First you have to flash a stock full restore with PIT then you have to master reset the device thru the dialer menus, then you need qpst/cdma ws on a sprint version to locate the IMEI and replace it with the correct value if needed. Sometimes when it becomes hidden it only shows all 0's when you restore it until you go into the NV partition and actually re write the missing values

I flashed my GS3 to boost mobile. Long story short, I used a boost evodesign4g as a donor, I changed the correct values to get it activated, but I also changed the IMEI with DFS to match the evo design4g (never thinking to back up my original gs3 imei let alone write it down:crying:). I figured out at a much later date that I never needed to change my IMEI to match the evo design. Now I am switching over to voyager mobile as they allow byod sprint devices, so I can have lte. BUT ONE HUGE PROBLEM, Currently my GS3 has the wrong IMEI.... I need to recover my original sprint GS3 IMEI as it is linked in the sprint database to my meid and ICCID for LTE activation. Yes I have checked the obvious, I searched the forums found nothing for my situation, it’s not on the white sticker on the back I don't have the original box anymore because if I did I would not need to ask for help...I figure it might be similar to recovering a Verizon GS3 IMEI, Maybe the original is hidden in one of the NV items?. So does anyone know how to recover the original factory set IMEI for a SPRINT GS3??? Is there a way to calculate it from the ICCID number?
Thank you to all who reply! I’m really in a bind here and need some help or guidance.
can AT&T deactivate my SIM or block my IMEI if they detect a custom ROM?....my SIM is not working anymore I Rooted . FreeGee'd and Restored to this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419802
I got 4G LTE fine (after changing to a different "pta" APN) but couldn't call. Found out I flashed the baseband for the E988 instead of the E980. I went to CWM and flashed the proper AT&T E980 baseband after a CWM wipe and restore again....my Sim still wasn't working
I saw some things that AT&T can deactivate a SIM if they detect a break in...can i just buy a new SIM?
I used the LGFlashTool. flashed back to stock completely. (relocked and unrooted) and it still gives me the red "X" near the signal strength and it won't save APN's
contacted online tech support said that "AT&T deactivated my SIM card as they thought my phone was being broken into and they thought it was stolen" is this something new? can I just get a new SIM at the AT&T store?
i've rooted and flashed an (including my significant other, co-workers at various places of work and my own handsets) HTC thunderbolt, HTC rezound, 2 Galaxy SIII's, a LG Optimus S, LG Optimus V, ZTE Warp,Galaxy SII, and even a Droid Razr and I have NEVER had the provider deactivate the Sim card because of hacking.
was the tech support person "Andy" trying to scare me?..is it true?..or did I bork the SIM by flashing the wrong baseband the first time?...because my SIM still isn't working
any advice would be greatly appreciated!

No just go in tell them your SIM card isn't working and you need another.. those people working at the att store don't care if your rooted or running custom roms.. unless your trying to do a warranty return...
sim card replacement should be free also
turns out....it wasn't the SIM card....new one was put in and it still didn't work..the guy looked at the IMEI and it said unknown....had no idea how it got there...but made a jab at LG for making cheap phones and said "theres a reason why we dont carry LG" .fortunately I was still in the return window process and got an exchange same day at a nearby corporate store...do you think it was something I did?
either way..not rooting or flashing until a year has passed

Thought I had read on some of the ROM threads that flashing an incorrect baseband can cause some major issues, such as wiping out your IMEI...
You simply needed to use LGFlashtools to return to stock and your phone would have been fixed. Always make a backup of your currently 'FULLY' working Rom that way if something goes wrong, you can return to stock and be up and running. What happened was that your baseband was incorrect after flashing the wrong modem. Flashing the correct modem didn't fix it fully because that partition became corrupt. Restoring a fully functional backup would have fixed that issue.
Glad you got your phone returned though. Hopefully they don't bill you when they see that your phone is rooted and hacked. They might.

It was your own fault not the phones. Flashing an baseband not meant for your phone will cause this...

You can flash the phone to change the nv settings and allow use of it on a prepaid network such as Cricket or Metro PCS There are other networks as well such as Ting (I think you don't even need to flash to use Ting) https://ting.com/byod
I was wanting it on StraightTalk. I've seen people have this done while searching but I cannot find out how to do it. I'd like to do this without having to sodder anything.

Might need to be flashed back depending on how the NV items are held. I flashed an HTC evo once to cricket and when I did a hard reset the flash went away. You can try a factory reset through recovery.
But first I would check the esn to see if it will even be accepted on sprint. A lot of times phones get flashed because they have a bad esn with sprint..
check it here.
http://swappa.com/esn
Thanks for the reply. I purchased the phone via swappa and it passes their ESN checks, I also called Sprint customer service and they also verified that the ESN is clean. However the chat representative claimed that it must still be active on some other carrier.
I have also used kitty wireless's meid check and it comes back as active_with_ppc and has what i assume is the old owners phone number. Any ideas? Is it as simple as flashing the correct stock rom/radio/prl and then going through the Sprint activation process?

Glad the ESN is good for you.
I think the issue you might have is that it is still active with another carrier. You can try to run through the process of flashing it using qpst. I think the settings for the other carrier are still there.
First try to flash the radio and prl and add it to your Sprint account. But like I mentioned, Sprint doesn't like when the phone is still active on any network, you may have to contact the buyer to remove the phone from their account.
Is the phone rooted? What ROM is on it? What does it list for Radio and PRL now?

Try to flash the ZVC radio and do a reset on the phone. Looks like you might need to flash some files using QPST. Also since you are on a stockish rom try to update the PRL within system updates. It might pick up the current Sprint PRL of 25019, that should help with activation. I don't know if it will pick it up since you are not on Sprint at the moment but it's worth a shot.
If that doesn't work, find a way to flash a newer Sprint PRL with QPST (I don't think you'll find 25019 on the net yet) then try to update it on the phone.
You might try some of these codes too to see if you can do some NV changes, seems like the one for network reset or clear OTA provision might do the trick, I stongly suggest you make a full backup including an EFS backup first before doing anything.

Looks like the phone is still registered on Page Plus, I had KittyWireless run an ESN check and the MEID came back registered to another number and the status is ACTIVE_ON_PPC. Looks like I'm going to have to return it unless I can get the original owner to cancel their Page Plus account.

Could anybody who has flashed their ls-970 to Cricket take a second out and tell me how they activated it on Cricket? I see services online that will flash my phone to Cricket for $10, but Cricket staff said there is no way to activate a phone without a sim card. So how did any of you sign up to Cricket with your flashed phone without a sim card if Cricket says it can not be done?

Not sure that an NV restore would solve the problems. Does your bootloader match your modem?

-yes i have the correct bootloader (ending with MK5) which is for the canadian i747, i have the latest bootloader and latest stock image.
-initially after the cynogen update, only WiFi worked, and i found my IMEI and NV was missing, and i never made a back up
-so i used the tools and instructions provided on previous threads, and input my IMEI. and then my WIFI and EDGE worked, but i didn't have any 3G or 4G or LTE
-then i used my dads galaxy S3 (from a FIDO network), used his full NV and put it into my phone, and wrote in my original IMEI.
-now everything works, except when my data and carrier connections cut out. its on and off through out the day.
-so i believe that if i can get an original NV full back up of another ROGERS S3 that has not been altered, then i should have everything working without cutting out.:good:
First thing, no one is allowed to post that here. It can potentially be used to help clone stolen devices and as such, is against forum rules.
Second thing, there may be another way to address this. I will PM you in a few to give you another option.
